Great shot Bob, love it!!! Great colours, patterns and reflection in the water, top shot!!!!!!
 
:clap: Marvellous picture of a reflected Night-Heron!!! :bounce: The texture and colours on the water are stunning... make the Heron look extremely shot-legged, though! ;) Wonderful digiscoping, Bob!!! :t: :t: :loveme:
 
Thanks all for the comments, we had extremely hot weather during the period the photo was taken, some of the Night Herons that came to the park went deeper into the water. It was the first time I had seen them wading in the water
